Better Bids provides custom spreadsheet-based quoting applications for the door, window, hardware, shower door, and glass sales industries, aiming to automate and simplify the quoting process. Its product is closer to an industry-specific quoting tool built on Microsoft Excel 2013 than a typical cloud-only SaaS platform. The founder has a background in the glass and door/window business, and the earlier product PowerBids previously served a sizable number of industry customers.
Better Bids focuses on reducing calculation errors in manual quoting and producing quotes that look more professional and use more consistent descriptions. FlexBid can be used to quote a range of products, supporting pricing by square foot, linear foot, linear inch, united inch, or per item, and can generate quotes, work orders, purchase orders, and invoices. The glass shop version can come preloaded with glass products and adds pricing for edgework. DoorBuilder is designed for shops that manufacture or assemble doors, allowing them to build and quote doors, frames, hinges, and other components sourced from multiple suppliers. The text also mentions sales tax calculation, viewing selling price/cost/markup/gross margin, Surface Pro compatibility, and on-site signature capture.
The website does not disclose any plans, unit pricing, or subscription model. It only says users can call for details and a short online demo. As a result, it is not possible to tell whether it is sold as a one-time license, a custom project, or an ongoing subscription. No free version or trial is mentioned.
Its main strength is its strong industry focus, especially for small businesses in doors, windows, glass, and shower doors where quoting rules are complex and pricing units vary. Being based on Excel may also reduce the learning curve for staff. The downside is that the official website provides limited information and does not explain cloud deployment, data security, permissions, APIs, third-party integrations, or update cadence. For companies that need mobile access, multi-branch collaboration, or CRM/ERP integration, the product’s boundaries are unclear.
It is better suited to local U.S. door/window or glass shops looking to replace manual Excel sheets or paper-based quotes. Access from China cannot be determined from the available text. Since the product relies on phone demos and an Excel environment, companies in China should confirm language support, local tax handling, supplier data compatibility, and remote support capabilities before adopting it.
